I'm flying from Narita over to NY today, that is quite a long flight (12+ hours!) to spend the next 2 weeks on vacation, visiting family, attending a friend's wedding where I am the best man, and enjoying yummy food. I've prepared my N82 for the flight with lots of Podcasts (Accident Hash, LUGRadio, and some MacBreak Tech) to listen to, and I have the the S60 MobiPocket E-book reader installed. Currently I'm reading a SciFi book based on the Mass Effect video game. Anyway I might not be posting very much during the next 2 weeks and now you know why. But I'll be sure to upload the photos I take during the trip on Flickr. See you in 2 weeks!
I had lots of yummy food while visiting my family in the US and this is the last set of photos from the trip. Before I left I had Rainbow Cookies. They are not only nice to look at but delicious also! Their taste is a mixture of almonds, chocolate, and cookie/cake. Unfortunately I have never seen them in Japan.
When I was visiting my family in the States recently we went out to a restaurant named Legal Seafood one night. I had a yummy Lobster roll. Here are some photos from the dinner.
Usually when a sunset is red and pink a storm is on its way. Just like this sunset.
Photos taken with the Nokia N93i.
While visiting my Family in the States I checked the nearest video game store (EB Games) to see how the Wii was selling. I saw this sign on the front of the store. Apparently it is the same situation as Japan with the Wii selling out while the PS3 is not selling well.
I gave a short demo of the new Nokia N93i for my brother's Tech Class at South Woods Middle School. Tech Class is where students learn how to use craft tools such as saws, drills, screwdrivers, etc. to make things out of wood with their own hands and learn some computer tech also. I let the students try out the N93i so that they could get a feel for it hands on. These are the videos and photos that they took. I think some of them are suprisingly good resulting in some creative videos of themselves and their friends. Some were documentary style, some were introducing themselves and their friends, while some filmed action or scare tactics. What video is your favorite?

Cousin's Pizza is my second favourite Pizza restaurant. Cousins is located in Syosset, NY nearby the Syosset, LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) trainstation. I like Cousin's pizza crust better than Mario's pizza crust but overall Mario's pizza has better sauce, cheese, dough, and chicken rolls that is why Cousin's is second and Mario's is first. Anyway my younger brother and I went to Cousin's for lunch when I was visiting in the States. Pizza is sold by the slice or by the pie and there are 8 slices of pizza per pie. I ordered a slice of pizza and a chicken roll. It was delicous. =)
More photos of my favourite cake, Entenmann's Filled Chocolate Chip Crumb Cake.
While visiting my family in the US we went out to Kikku's for Dinner one night. Kikku of Empire is a Chinese restaurant that also makes Japanese food. When I lived in the US they were one my favourite restaurants to get Chicken Lo Mein from. However after having lived in Japan for over 2 years I found the Lo Mein to not be that special and the sashimi that I ordered was served in a strange way. It wasn't bad but it wasn't a great dinner like it use to be.

While I was in the States visiting my family I went to watch Children of Men with my dad. While there I got a medium popcorn and medium Cherry Coke. But since I have been living in Japan for the last 2 years I was suprised to see the size of the mediums I received. They were the size of extra larges! So large that I wasn't even able to finish them by the end of the movie.
